Often I use git and just edit my repo files with the GitHub app and then git pull the changes from the server that needa the file. If you’re already familiar with git it’s probably easier than learning vim. You can probably do it directly to a repo behind ssh. If not then I’d learn vim before git.

Do you use your own git server? Or do you use github? I want to use git but i dont want microsofts grubby hands in my data

You don’t need a dedicated git server if you just want a simple place to store git. Simply place a git repository on your server and use ssh://yourserver/path/to/repo as the remote URL and you can push/pull.

If you want more than that (i.e. a nice Web UI and user management, issue tracking, …) then Gitea is a common solution, but you can even run Gitlab itself locally.

that sounds good. thanks.
